Heat Pumps and Home Heating Service in Dutchess County

Do you want to lower your heating and cooling costs? Heat pumps are energy efficient home heating and cooling systems because they transfer heat rather than creating it. This movement of heat requires less energy than it takes to create warm or cool air like furnaces and air conditioners do. There are different types of air-to-air heat pumps that all work differently and use different sources of energy.

Electric heat pump. An electric heat pump uses an indoor and outdoor coil filled with refrigerant to absorb heat. When you need to heat your home, the coil absorbs warmth from outside and transfers it inside. When you want to cool your home, the indoor coil absorbs the warmth from inside and transfers it outside. This transfer of air is fueled by electricity.

Gas heat pump. A gas heat pump works in much the same way as an electric heat pump. It simply uses gas to fuel the movement of heat. It also uses environmentally-friendly natural refrigerants such as ammonia and water.

Geothermal heat pump. A geothermal heat pump includes an underground coil that uses water and refrigerant to absorb heat from the ground. Despite the temperature of the air, the ground temperature stays relatively constant. Heat is transferred from the ground to your home and from your home back to the ground using electricity.

Ductless heat pump. Also known as a mini-split system, a ductless heat pump consists of one outdoor unit and multiple indoor units. Because there is no ductwork for the air to travel from room to room, each room or area of your home that needs to be climate controlled requires a simple wall mounted unit that runs on electricity.

Geothermal Heat Pumps are the Most Efficient

When it comes to getting a home heat pump system, all types are energy efficient, especially when compared to forced air furnaces and air conditioners. Each has its distinct advantages. Ductless heat pumps are easy to install in any home. Electric heat pumps use minimal electricity to heat and cool your home. Gas heat pumps are environmentally-friendly. But the most energy efficient option is the geothermal heat pump. Because it uses the consistent temperature of the ground, it is able to function using the least amount of energy and relies less on the weather.

What is sometimes seen as a disadvantage to geothermal heating is the expense of installation. Because it requires a loop to be buried under the ground in your yard, the installation is more intrusive and labor intensive. However, once the underground loop is buried, it lasts for many years, possibly as long as the home itself. And the energy savings you will enjoy with a geothermal heating and cooling system will allow you to come out ahead financially in the long run.

We just had a new oil burner installed by Aaspen HVAC. The person who did the estimate came on time, was polite and answered all my questions. The estimate he gave me was reasonable, and covered all expenses.

In 2014 I had Aaspen install separate zone and new duck work in our upstairs Cape Cod home. It works beautiful. They were extremely neat while working and cleaned up totally at the end of each day.
